The presidential salary is $400k/year. Somehow though, he gained $3 Billion in wealth since 2024 By my math, he somehow has gained $2,999,600.00 more than he should. Conflict of interest. Emoluments etc.. A real Congress would have investigated and dealt with this. A real Congress that is...

More warning lights flashing.

Exactly. It's also so much harder to hack. It is literally the most secure way to hold an election.

“Liberation Day” liberated Americans from their hard-earned money What a joke that was

Zhao’s company Binance secured $2 billion in backing using the crypto coin issued by Trump’s World Liberty Financial. Corruption on a scale never before seen.

I've seen almost no other coverage of this. Trump is sending the FBI to the homes of protestors, ostensibly to find out who is funding and organizing the protests, but obviously also to intimidate people into not protesting anymore. We really should be talking about this more.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.” “SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.” ~Center for Budget and Policy

2/ who explained Trump's decision was none other than John Baron. www.nytimes.com/1980/06/06/a...

Trump is just passing away all our relationships and soft power. Major beneficiary? China.

We have leverage over Russia in that when we delay or signal doubt on Ukraine's cause, the Russians attack more and harder. In that sense, we are also participating in the killing of Ukrainians. www.thebulwark.com/p/mixed-sign...

Russia is a terrorist state.

Across the nation, federal workers are turning to food banks and taking on second jobs as missed paychecks continue.

🚨 I was close reading the UCLA deal with Trump & found this gem of a ‘typo’ 😮 about UCLA’s “Feinberg School of Medicine”… THERE IS NO FEINNBERG SCHOOL OF MEDICINE AT UCLA, they have the Geffen School of Medicine… But there is a Feinberg School at Northwestern (I worked there!), meaning…(1/3)

The Great Crypto Grift: How Trump & the Broligarchy Are Scamming America Trump & the broligarchy are grifting America through a corrupt Crypto scheme that has made them billions of dollars but threatens to destabilize financial markets & crash the economy. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-great-...

It's just the beginning...

like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse, that’s how much it hurts spotify.link/5CtPfZuWJXb

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get. Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

Threatening to arrest governors for seditious conspiracy. Getting dark fast.

We don't have to watch them.

shouldn’t more people be talking about the rumor how Trump was trafficking girls from his Miss Teen Pageant to Epstein?

Cool. Release the Epstein Files.

The more things he pretends to spend it on the more money he can stuff in his pocket

From the owner of the house tonight:

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

Sorry, but it *is* unnerving. I agree with @rieckhoff.bsky.social that this idea that the military is Trump's personal muscle, and should kill anyone he points at, should be among the biggest stories in America right now.

Wolff knows how to play this game because he doesn't fall that far from the Trump tree. But the courts are, for the moment, there for everyone. And activists and elected officials shld be doing lots of this stuff. And not just on speech grounds but tying the TW/Skydance deal up in courts

It's worth noting that they're only able to do this because they gerrymandered the state legislative seats 15 years ago so they have a permanent legislative supermajority (allowing them to overrule the D governor) in a 50/50 state

I just don’t understand the mindset of constantly ceding this ground to the right. We can wrap ourselves in the flag and patriotism and fight for what is right instead of being oh so savvy ironic cynics.

They like Trump and are doing their best to help him

Remember these jerks were called deplorable and the earth fell of its axis ? This is the potus calling Americans peaceable assembly as low lives Fuck him

Stephen Miller has his own agenda: the complete and total de-melaninization of the entire country. And he knows exactly how to play Trump to get his way.

ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.

“$350,000,000” And surely all those *investors* will get itemized receipts to make sure he didn’t just pocket most of it too right? No wonder taxpayers aren’t paying — less transparency/criming this way

Radical idea: The next Dem nominee should run on making bribery actually illegal. In every way.

If & when federal courts (& SCOTUS) insist on deferring to the President's determination that deploying the Natl Guard is necessary for the enforcement of federal law, safety, etc. - please remember Trump says he's making such decisions based in part on what the CEOs of Salesforce & NVIDIA tell him.

I love that this is literally just we realized we weren't connecting with Black people so we tried talking to more Black people and Black people like us much better now

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

About those ppl bringing in drugs..

I can’t think of what to say. The Speaker of the House will say he hasn’t heard anything about it. No one will ask John Thune anything.

Because President Botstein understands the job of a university president. Protective your students.

My God...this is *breathtakingly* shite. Apparently only three things happened since 2016 that are relevant to where democratic norms stand now: the result of the 2020 election, the result of the 2024 election, and a government shutdown David Brooks blames on Democrats. I can think of some others.

Ukraine understands deterrence "not as theory but as survival." www.thebulwark.com/p/mixed-sign...

President Trump says he has authority to carry out the strikes, but international experts are asking if the attacks are truly about countering narcotics or instead toppling Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro. n.pr/4nhlVQL

"The federal mortgage fraud investigation against Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff, one of President Donald Trump’s chief political foes, has stalled. … Federal prosecutors in Maryland leading the probe have not produced enough evidence to bring charges." apple.news/AQ9GhiAvXRwW...

ICYMI — @govpritzker.illinois.gov just went on Fox and told them Trump is planning to steal the next election (that’s what the troops are really about), and said ICE is not going after “the worst of the worst” they’re “going after black and brown people because of the color of their skin”

Those $376 Million Obama renovations people like Jesse Watters are using to defend Trump? One problem — They were approved by Congress after a BUSH administration report said they were necessary: www.snopes.com/news/2025/10...

A thing I think every damn day is that the wrong people are in charge of political ads.
